What an incredible way to kick off RLC26! The first keynote by Marc Bellemare was amazing with a fantastic start with “Stability & Scale in Experimental RL”! Excited for the next few days? -w/ @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social @glenberseth.bsky.social @sologen.bsky.social @audurand.bsky.social

Y'all, RLC is so good. It's the community and conference I wish I had had as a grad student

In light of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, RLC decided to remove the abstract deadline: rl-conference.cc/callforpaper... The only deadline is for the full paper: Mar 5(AOE) openreview.net/group?id=rl-... Affected folks may also contact the PCs to discuss deadline extensions before Mar 5.

3 weeks to get your RLC papers in shape! And to get the word out to those who have yet to experience an RLC review process.

Science will take a huge hit; academic stars will leave; university reputations will crumble, and homegrown talent will be even harder to find. Asia and Europe will profit. Epic unforced errors, all in the overly narrow pursuit of cutting costs.

RLHF algorithms assume humans generate preferences according to normative models. We propose a new method for model alignment: influence humans to conform to these assumptions through interface design. Good news: it works! #AI #MachineLearning #RLHF #Alignment (1/n)

First page of the paper Influencing Humans to Conform to Preference Models for RLHF, by Hatgis-Kessell et al.

Our proposed method of influencing human preferences.

I'm quite excited about this and still a bit shocked that it works as well as it does. Imitation via distribution matching has always felt like a clunky, brittle way to command agents. Language + zero-shot RL is natural, instantaneous, and scales well, due to the unsupervised nature of RL Zero.
